Chelsio's T3 card supports iWARP (RDMA over TCP). I've ported OpenFabric's kernel infrastructure for supporting RDMA to FreeBSD. Do we think that other RDMA providers (IB or iWARP) will be interested in supporting FreeBSD? If so it makes sense to put it under sys/contrib/rdma, otherwise I'll just add it as another module under cxgb.

Kip,

Could you put up a snapshot of the changes somewhere, along with some documentation as to the architecture, changes to FreeBSD, changes to the openfabric bits, etc, and pointers to any pertinent documentation that may already exist and would answer obvious and less obvious questions?

Thanks,
